I THINK IT IS VERY APT THAT LEONARD COHEN, WHO HAS BEEN ON A WORLD TOUR SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER, AND COMING SOON TO AUSTRALIA HAS COORDINATED HIS TOUR WITH THE WORLD WIDE FINANCIAL DEPRESSION. IT MAY WELL BE, THAT COHEN'S DOWNBEAT DITTIES HAVE CAUSED THIS GLOOM THAT ENGULFS THE WORLD.

I'VE ALWAYS GOT A LAUGH FROM THE ULTRA TACKY ELVIS IMPERSONATORS THAT POP UP FROM TIME TO TIME. WHEN I LIVED IN SINGAPORE YEARS AGO, THEY HAD AN ELVIS LOOKALIKE COMPETITION EACH YEAR, WHICH WAS HYSTERICAL. DOZENS OF PUNY CHINESE GUYS DOING ELVIS IS SURREAL. SINGAPORE'S "OWN" ELVIS, THE USUAL WINNER, WAS A LARGE INDIAN GUY IN THE REGULATION JUMP SUIT; VERY CONVINCING! IN AUSTRALIA, WE HAVE AN ANNUAL ELVIS FESTIVAL AT THIS TIME EACH YEAR, IN THE COUNTRY TOWN OF PARKES.

AT LAST, AFTER THE AWFUL HOWARD REGIME SOME SOCIAL JUSTICE IS RETURNING TO AUSTRALIA.

Edward Young has finally proved he is entitled to a war pension, writes Jonathan Dart.

Every so often, Edward Young sits on the couch in his apartment and closes his eyes. "And then I just pretend I'm not here any more," he says.

It has been 10 years since his partner, Larry Cains, died. They met in London in 1960 - he, a model, was introduced to Mr Cains, a photographer who had served with the Australian Army in Borneo during World War II.

"He was desperately handsome," Mr Young said. "We spent two weeks together and I told him I wanted to spend my life with him."

Now, after a decade of fighting to have the law recognise his and Mr Cains's love as equal, the Sydneysider will soon become the country's first recognised gay war widower.

Laws passed in November mean that partners in gay relationships with serving and retired soldiers will, for the first time, be allowed to claim pensions - opening the door for the so-called "forgotten people" of our military heritage and allowing for more people to make claims that must be paid out.

Nude New Year's 'sex party' a con, warn Malaysian authorities

December 31, 2008 - 11:05AM

Malaysian authorities have condemned rumoured plans for a New Year's Eve sex party at a remote beach, while police warned the "no-underwear" event could be a con job.

Newspaper reports said the party for the under-40s, to be held in southern Johor state bordering Singapore, was being advertised through a website that asked for 250 ringgit (A$104) as an entrance fee.

"A sex party is against our culture and religion and if it went on, it would damage the country's reputation worldwide," Tourism Minister Azalina Othman said according to the New Straits Times newspaper on Tuesday.

"There are other events organised to usher the New Year which are hip, fun and suitable to our culture."

Party organisers had reportedly said that male guests were banned from wearing briefs to the event, while women were only permitted to wear G-string underwear which had to be removed after midnight.

Johor criminal investigation department chief Amer Awal warned that the sex party was likely to be a fraud designed to cheat potential partygoers out of the ticket price.

"The idea of organising such a party is far-fetched but the state Religious Department and local councils have all been informed," he told the New Straits Times, adding that authorities would be on alert.

IN THE PAPER THIS MORNING, I AM GREETED WITH AN AD THAT SAYS 94% OF WOMEN WANT TO MEET A "TRADIE". THIS IS A PERSON WHO IS A TRADESMAN. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT I SAY. MUSICIANS ARE TRADESMEN TOO., I GUESS. BUT THIS AD GOES ON; IT'S A COMPETITION, MEN CAN ENTER, THE PRIZE? A UTE..A "UTE" FOR MY OVERSEAS READERS' BENEFIT, IS A UTILITY VEHICLE, A THING MANY AUSTRALIAN MALE FUCKWITS DRIVE. SO, NINETY FOUR PERCENT OF AUSTRALIAN WOMEN WANT TO MEET A FUCKWIT.
